There is disclosed a surface reformation method of a high polymer material such that by irradiating and excimer-laser beam to only a predetermined area in which electronic parts and the like are temporarily immobilized by a liquid on a substrate which has a high polymer layer on the surface, wettability of the liquid for temporary immobilization only with respect to the predetermined area is improved. After the electronic parts are temporarily immobilized on the substrate by using the method, the electronic parts can be soldered with preferable durability by a fluxess reflow soldering.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A circuit board, comprising: a substrate; and a high polymer material layer formed on a surface of said substrate, including a first area of said high polymer material layer on which to implement an electronic part, and a second area different from said first area of said high polymer material layer on which no electronic part is to be implemented; wherein said first area is an area processed by irradiating a light energy, the wavelength of said light energy being in a range from 100 to 600 nm, and the energy density of said light energy being more than 0.03 J/cm 2 and less than or equal to 0.5 J/cm 2 ; and the wettability on said first area is greater than the wettability on said second area, in accordance with a liquid material contact angle on said first area being smaller than that on said second area.
2. A circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the wavelength of said light energy is longer than 180 nm.
3. A circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the light energy is irradiated onto said first area in at least one pulse of duration 20 to 100 ns.
4. A circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the energy density of said light energy is between 0.05 J/cm 2 and 0.15 J/cm 2 inclusive.
5. A circuit board according to claim 1 further comprising a metal pattern on said substrate below said first area of the high polymer material layer.
6. A circuit board according to claim 5 , wherein said high polymer material layer is a polyimide system resin layer.
7. A circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid material contact angle on said first area is less than 20 degrees.
8. A circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a liquid material having said liquid material contact angle on said first and second areas is an alcohol system solvent.
